LG Innotek, a subsidiary of Korea’s LG Group, has developed a partnership with lighting firm Zumtobel Group of Dornbirn, Austria to transfer high-volume business in LED backlights for LCD screens to the field of professional lighting.

Under the cooperation, both of the partners will respectively contribute their experience in technology, applications and production, especially in the use of LEDs as point light sources to produce flat-area lighting. And they also intend to use their strengths to market LED products.

Asides from its existing LED portfolio Tridonic, the lighting components brand within the Zumtobel Group will also be offering LED products from LG (above all, LED modules and converters for professional lighting) via its own sales channels.
